"THE BATMAN" trailer

I wasn't holding out much hope for this latest incarnation of Batman but the trailer does look really good and now all of a sudden I can't wait.

"Springboard: The Secret History of the First Real Smartphone" trailer

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now. It looks really interesting.

More interestingly, this debuts on The Verge's own smart TV apps. Their Apple TV app is delayed while they sort out subtitling which for some reason is something Apple handles differently on this one device. Even after 4 years, BBC's iPlayer still doesn't support subtitles in it's Apple TV app.

Google Apps for iOS to switch to UIKit after decade of Material Design

I think this is ultimately going to be really good for everyone, we just have to deal with the transition period. Always feels like Google really take their time with UI stuff but maybe some of it was just down to Material Design getting in the way?

Ford 021C concept by Marc Newson

This concept car debuted in 1999 and steering wheel aside, it holds remarkably well.

iOS 15 features, tips and tricks you probably don't know

I certainly learnt quite a bit looking through this but this is the one thing I genuinely didn't know you could do:

  1. Edit the Safari start page
    • Enable and re-order the features on the page
    • Choose a default background
    • I also realised that the iCloud Tabs feature has an icon that lets you switch between devices (I thought it wasn't working)

LEGO x DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown

Love this lower cost version of a LEGO Tumbler. Would fit in nicely with all of the other LEGO things we've collected over the past few years.

Price: £34.99

Create amazing wallpapers using iPhone 13 Pro's Macro feature

Plenty of inspiration in this video to give you ideas on different materials and lighting you can use to create textures that are perfect for abstract macro photography. Some of the images are really nice and a little editing goes a long way taking them from initial capture to becoming wallpaper ready.

Everrati Electric Porsche 911

Stunning, I love how people are taking these old machines and turning them into EVs for the future.

I, optimistically, looked around at what Porsche have to offer when looking for our next car and for the money you pay their interiors are pretty awful. They certainly don't stand up to the test of time so I'd be interested to know how Everrati tackle that aspect. Hard to get a look inside, but there's at least one photo that seems to show the legacy CarPlay stereo Porsche offer for their older cars.

The Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda would actually be my pick.
